A former Merseyside hotel was well-known its Hollywood guests and ghost stories.
The Palace Hotel that used to stand tall in Birkdale, Southport was fit for A-list celebrities and hosted legends such as Frank Sinatra, Peter Sellers and Boris Karloff as well as the Hungary team during the 1966 World Cup. Despite the luxurious reputation that the grand hotel had, it also had dark secrets.
Frank Sinatra stayed at the Palace Hotel while performing for five nights at the Liverpool Empire in 1953. Boris Karloff filmed The Sorcerers there in 1967, and Norman Wisdom filmed What’s Good For The Goose, which was released in 1969.
